That's fine, it's just saying you don't have a DHCP assigned address. /renew is what will try to get an IP through DHCP. Does your first router work fine through ethernet?

Yes, the initial router functions properly, but refreshing results leads to failure in connecting to the DHCP server. The request has timed out.

I'll test the additional ports on the second router too. It seems the device isn't recognizing the connection. Have you attempted assigning a fixed IP address on your laptop and attempting to access the second router's interface?

I attempted to apply the basic static IP configuration similar to LAN servers, and it functioned properly. But when using 10.0.0.1 it continues to fail and responds slowly. Could you clarify how to set the subnet mask to a /8 address?

You don't need special programs; just use Windows features. Open the Control Panel and go to Network Connections. You can right-click the Start menu, choose Run, then type ncpa.cpl to launch it quickly. Click on your Ethernet connection and choose Properties. In the Properties window, pick Internet Protocol Version 4 and click on it. Enter the IP address you wish to use. If you type something like 10.x.x.x it will apply a default subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. Set the default gateway to the secondary router's IP address. You can leave it empty if you prefer. To switch to DHCP again, select Obtain an Address Automatically. For the subnet mask, /8 means 255.0.0.0, /16 is 255.255.0.0 and /24 is 255.255.255.0. By default, a network starting with 10.x.x.x uses that subnet. You can keep it as is unless you need to adjust the network layout. I usually use a 10.10.x.x/16 setup at home for better control. It might suggest a problem with the cable or ports, particularly if it works over Wi-Fi. If possible, try a different cable and device to check for hardware issues.

I’ll test various cables and ports just to be sure. It worked well this afternoon. Appreciate your support and the information!
